Usually the famous driver father is better than the son ( Graham Hill etc ) but I think even Jos would admit that his son is a 1000 times better than he ever was
Don't underestimate Honda. Although they haven't show a good pace as of yet, who knows what they can deliver. Fact is, that the Honda engine without the by Merc dominated MGU-H is the fastest engine around. Who knows when they GET there package right... Let's hope Torro Rosso shows a good pace with the engine, and of course good reliability. To continue about Max, he made few mistakes, and taking out your team mate was not the best thing he did, however we should remember that Vettel also did these things. Sometime, this happens. In my opinion, you can be mad, but our 'Big Smile' Ricciardo was a bit too harsh. It's never funny when you get taken out, I know, but let's not forget Verstappen gave him room in Malaysia a year a go. These things happen. With Massa, well.... You could say impatient, but Massa didn't give him room, which is something typically Massa. I give Verstappen 10/10, because wi don't know what he could have achieved without sooo much misfortune. I rate him to be one of the best, clearly better then Vettel. In my opinion, when Merc screws up their chassis, the battle could very likely be Verstappen vs Hamilton, where Sebastian will in a way loose this. Alonso could also be very much involved, but let's see how McLaren adopts the Renault engine. It's clear they have to build a new chassis....
IMO, although Dan is a good braker, I mean, the best, I put him more in the category of Rosberg. Dan is a one lap wonder, who is beaten by his team mate on that thing. Although he is a good driver, he is more the one who wins because of misfortune of others, like Rosberg. To back this up, his only win was in a chaotic Baku. Max however, won two times. He is in the books as the last winner of Malaysia, where he has beaten the Merc of Hamilton, on a track where RBR thought they wouldn't have a chance of winning! Mexico, he took every last life out of the engine and drove to an unimaginable Merc like victory, in a Red Bull!! Where was Dan when he could have won. He brings the cars home, yes, but driving carefully doesn't always make you champion. The ones with speed, those are the ones who win a champion, and sadly, Dan doesn't have the incredible speed on the long run. Preserving a car is key when it matters the most. Dan would clearly become a WDC when the championship is in that position, but Max will win when it matters on the speed. I would never want to see Max driving in a car which dominates a season. To see him driving in Merc will destroy Max's magic. Everyone will then say: 'He drove a Merc, no wonder he became WDC.' Let's say, we don't know yet, Max becomes the next WDC in a Red Bull. Everyone will say it's because of his skill, not because of the car. I have to say, I hope he becomes the next WDC, but nothing is sure. It all depends on the first race. IF, Max wins the first race, or is very close on second, then Hamilton with Merc and Ferrari with Seb will have a problem. It was the same in 2010, which we all know what happened
